More perfect storm nonsense

When we still couldn't hit when it was warm out.

This was mentioned on WSI. Mark Patrick and Buck Martinez were critiquing the Sox-Phillies contest on the Baseball This morning on XM. Mark Patrick believes the book is out on the sox hitters, and that pitchers know to keep the ball just off the plate because our hitters wont adjust and will continue to hack away. We are a bunch of free swingers. He used the example of how the whitesox fared against Clippard, and how the Pirates had no problems with him by taking pitches and driving up his pitch count.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 12, 2007 -> 10:11 AM) You don't think that the Chicago writers will spin the Sox trading two marque players into a White flag scenario? There is a group of writers that will torch the Sox as soon as any deal is done, especially if it is done this early. So let me get this straight. KW should go for it this year with the 3rd worst team in the AL right now. The worst hitting team in baseball by far, and the worst bullpen in the AL because of a few writers. Lets burn some more of the minors and torch our future because we want to play 500 baseball this year and come up short. What fix praytell can we get. The only trades I see KW making, are ones that will help us this year and for the future. There is no way, unless he went insane that he burns our minors more for a rental.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 12, 2007 -> 09:40 AM) SSI....Rudy is gone at Texas after this year. He doesn't get along with Washington at all. Give me a bucket of money and let him fix our kids.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jun 12, 2007 -> 09:38 AM) Perhaps he's waiting until after we play the Cubs? Our fans put a lot of stock into that series and would like our best chance to sweep the northsiders. If thats the reason, maybe he should resign. If he is putting the future of our organization over a 3 game series with a non-divisional opponent then he isnt that swift.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 12, 2007 -> 09:34 AM) Who else are you going to get in the middle of June? You let baines handle it, while you interview real candidates. We are not doing anything this year, so interviewing and finding a real qualified candidate that can teach a nice line drive swing, plate awareness, and now to go oppo is key. Someone that can instruct rookies would be good as well. Just saying, oh well we have to promote the same stiff who prepared Josh Fields and Brian Anderson for the majors with long and looping swings is basically saying, we dont want to compete for a long time. No more long looping swing coaches.

Buster Onley says if KW puts Mark and Dye out on the market now he will get a great return, if he waits when the market gets more saturated he will get a lot less. Just f***ing sell them off now.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 12, 2007 -> 09:32 AM) Great, concise point. It's for this reason that I think it's better that we lose over the next few weeks so that the changes will be made to this team's personnel. I don't blame Walker for this season....but I do want a new hitting coach for next year. And I do not want to see anyone promoted from the minors to our new hitting coach. Everyone that comes up, looks lost with long looping swings. WHile other teams prospects come up and make contact at least.

FecalBall!!!!

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 12, 2007 -> 09:29 AM) If the Reds get Billingsley in return for Dunn, I'm going to be super pissed. Well we are f***ing dragging our feet on making a decision thats so easy. Fire sale. We will miss out on top talent because we are going to wait to compete against good players that are better than Dye right now.

Dye needs to start hitting better, if anything just for his value in a trade. Tonight we are going to get worked over. Pitcher we never saw: check Lefty: check Good: check has a curve and a change: check has good control: check check 12-15ks today

QUOTE(Hanky Panky @ Jun 11, 2007 -> 10:43 PM) Corpseball w/o the solo homers! This is beyond corpseball, this is FecalBall.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 11, 2007 -> 09:53 PM) Another first round selection shaping up nicely. Who in the minors is responsible for the long looping swing. Find them, and fire them immediately.

Eatons next start is against the Tigers this weekend. Eaton is going to get f***ing rocked by the Tigers this weekend.

According to PFB, the minor leaguers are not Walkers fault because its the minor league system that failed them. And it will take a few years to fix them like Crede. And the vets dont listen. Al called into the vy for Walker. Then said we need to keep Buerhle, because a bird in the hand is worth more than 2 in the bush. 6 to 7 years at 14 to 15 mill a year. Does any sane fan really believe that Uncle Jerry will go that far with a pitcher.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 11, 2007 -> 09:35 PM) I guarantee this team doesn't win more than 75 games. We're that bad of a team, and we have a ton of games left against the Tigers and Indians. They will totally f*** up a top draft pick as well. Because we dont deal with Boras, so getting a top 5 pick will be worthless because all of the good players that are impact guys we will pass on.

Some moron Sam is calling in who said that we are all Neanderthals for want Walker gone. Oh BTW according to the moron, Brian Anderson hit .275 last year. And then said anyone who didnt want him up here and complained was a Neanderthal.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 11, 2007 -> 09:13 PM) What is PFB Show? Rongey. The pink Fuzzy Bunny show. QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 11, 2007 -> 09:16 PM) So get used to Fields. Walker better work his magic and fix him. I want to see something that the greatest hitting coach in baseball can fix.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 11, 2007 -> 09:09 PM) I heard we're facing someone named Cole Hamels. He's bad, right? How does he compare with pitchers in our organizaton? Greg Walker probably told his team not to bring bats the ballpark tomorrow, because whats the point.

QUOTE(southsida86 @ Jun 11, 2007 -> 09:08 PM) Word has relayed thru WSI and from the score that Crede is having back surgery tomorrow. Me thinks we've seen the last of Joe in a Sox uniform. They just annouced it on the PFB show. f*** you Boras.

According to PFB, its just a fluke that they are not hitting.

PFB with the lets protect Greg crap. We are hitting .222 in June so far.

5 hits, no runs against a team that gave up 17 runs yesterday including 11 runs by the pen.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 11, 2007 -> 08:42 PM) According to Williams, other then calling him a "future All-Star" he labeled him as "more than ready." I assume that means he should be ready to produce immediately, and not looked overmatched by Adam f***ing Eaton. Gellinger is getting video on him right now from the minors, so he can see how he "felt" when he had a base hit. Walk is going to approach him about the holes in his swing, sometime in August after letting him fail a bit. 11 runs against the Phillies bullpen yesterday by the 2nd worst hitting team in the AL. But then when you go rock bottom, you get the poop.
